Reviews in Dorchester

Sadly, we won’t be planning to go back. My daughter and I were disappointed with our visit and me more so as it was my daughter’s 16th birthday and this was meant to be a treat for her birthday. It was just the 2 of us. There was a couple and a little one leaving as we arrived and we were the only ones there, right from the off we thought it was abit of an odd quiet vibe, like walking into a library. There was some music in the background so wasn’t completely silent but the cats weren’t interacting with us at all, we both tried to play with them when they were awake and they didn’t want to know. Very dead atmosphere. Food was ok, not much on the menu to choose from, pretty average. The 2 lady’s who worked there weren’t very chatty and were abit quiet. My daughter was asked to move from an area in the window where she was trying to be with the cats as an older couple came in and the lady who worked there wanted to seat them there. This annoyed me and made my daughter feel abit pushed away from the cats. They could have been seated anywhere as there were plenty of tables being it just us in there, but no my daughter was asked to move and the older couple were told it’s fine they have a table of their own. So what, we were meant to just stay at our table and not move around the cafe? The older lady ended up moving after 5 minutes anyway as she wasn’t comfortable. The cats were interested when our food arrived but otherwise didn’t want to know. We left as we felt it was so uninviting and boring. It was a hot day but fans were on and the cats had cool mats to lay on so it wasn’t down to the weather it was not hot in the cafe. Our cats were playing at home in the morning and in the afternoon when we got home despite the heat so I wouldn’t say it was because they were hot that they weren’t really with it. We hoped we’d have a cat on our lap and a cat to play with while we had our lunch but that wasn’t the case.

I had my first visit to Tabby Terrace today. It's a beautiful establishment with 4 delightful kitties. I had a cold drink due to the heatwave and the chocolate orange tiffin was really good. I was thrilled when a staff member invited me to feed the cats a treat. I've visited a different cat cafe before so it was really great to see a different take on it. The staff were friendly and the cats were adorable. I would definitely visit again if I am in Dorchester.

Loved the cafe and the company both feline and human! We chatted with the lady who was looking after the cafe and had a great time with the cats who liked me PROVIDED i had a treat in my hand for them! I had a great time and will come back!

We had a lovely time celebration your birthday. The food was ok, unfortunately the gluten free bread wasn't as nice as last time I came and you didn't have any Gluten Free cakes this time either, which was a little disappointing. We had a lovely time though and as it was so hot there weren't too many people and it wasn't school holiday either so my grandaughter got to see the kittens. I hope the kittens enjoyed their treats we took in foe them.

Amazing! Went in while on holiday. Absolutely amazing atmosphere, the cats are so cute and it was lovely that they were bothered and could do what they wanted. Staff were lovely and great service. Very friendly. All round amazing

My previous review had errors in it. Although the cats were lovely and the atmosphere was nice, the service was terrible. We got our drinks but no milk, we had to ask for some. By the time the milk came the drinks were luke warm. We waited absolutely ages for our food, but when it finally came there was no cutlery. Again, we had to ask for some (certain foods you cannot eat with your hands) by the time the cutlery came some of our food was cold and the toast was soggy from the scrambled egg sitting on it for so long. Sadly, a very disappointing experience and we will not go there again.

Came for a visit as my girls had discovered it, cats lovely, staff very nice, was quite pricey for what we had, I chose avocado bruschetta but it wasn’t bruschetta it was normal white toast, no serviettes and cutlery out of draw cat had sat on. Overall a nice experience but won’t be repeating

We had an excellent cup of coffee and Bacon Bap. The 4 cats were so friendly especially when I was given the treat tin. Nice chatting to the owner. Lovely atmosphere and would definitely go back to see how they are all growing up.

One of the best experiences in both me and my partner have ever had, absolutely exemplary in both food and the cats themselves. If you even remotely like cats and are out for lunch absolutely book a table, the four cats they have there are some of the sweetest and cutest i have ever seen. I will absolutely be revisiting now and then to see how the kittens grow, especially sushi.

A lovely little cat cafe with friendly, attentive staff. I took my 8 year old daughter and her younger cousins, one of which is 3 who enjoyed the food and amenities on offer which included drawing and games. My daughter in particular loved playing with the friendly cats, one of which was a very friendly kitten. All of the cats were little darlings, friendly and sociable. I would recommend a visit to all.

Lovely time with my nephew visiting Tabby Terrace. The 4 resident cats are super cute. My nephew enjoyed his sausage bap and a cup cake and I my cup of tea. Would definitely return hopefully going to bring my cat mad friend very soon.

Lovely little cat cafe, smaller than we expected but still lots of interactions with the lovely cats. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was tasty and very reasonable in price. All four of the cats were delightful, clearly well looked after and happy to be there. Will visit again soon.

Brilliant place to go with the cats being super friendly and fun. Child friendly place and the staff were nice people. Highly recommended going and the tea and cake was also lovely :)

My wife and I visited it today and met all our expectations. We met 4 resident cats and played with them for a while whilst drinking our Catte. The owners were very nice and friendly

Always a fantastic experience, very friendly staff and wonderful environment with happy kitties

Last Saturday, we took 7 ten years old children to the cafe. The girls were delighted. We had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and helpful, kind and patient with us lot. The cats were very good with a bigger crowd of people. Unforgettable birthday for my daughter. Thank you, Tabby Terrace! We will be back. X

A lovely place to visit, very friendly and well priced as well as nice and accommodating for family members that require gluten free.
